For the fundamentals behind this workflow, start with Adobe Premiere Pro markers: the complete guide.
Keep the note and the decision separate
Overwriting a comment with DONE removes the original instruction. Adding prefixes creates inconsistent wording and makes searching harder. MarkerBuddy keeps the editable comment focused on the note while displaying a compact Completed or Skipped badge and a separate status column.
Hover details retain the status context, and restoration can return one marker or a selected group to Pending when tasks reopen. Starting a status change on any selected row applies it to the complete selection in one operation; starting from an unselected row changes only that marker.
Filter the active round to what remains
Search and filters can combine text, color, track, and status for markers loaded from the active sequence. An editor can isolate Pending VFX notes, Completed audio notes, or Skipped requests from one imported review round.
Saved Presets in Column Settings make recurring layouts, filters, searches, and Quick Marker workspaces reusable. Exporting the currently visible set creates a focused CSV or PDF rather than a report filled with irrelevant markers.
Preserve status through edits and exports
MarkerBuddy preserves status metadata during its supported marker edits, batch comment changes, copying, imports, exports, and reconform operations where the destination supports it. Exported status remains readable outside MarkerBuddy.
The workflow is local to the project and panel. MarkerBuddy is not a multiuser task server, so two editors do not receive live cloud updates from each other.
Workflow
A practical four-step process
-
01
Group the feedback round
Use a shared marker name or color when importing or creating a set of client notes.
-
02
Work from Pending
Filter to unresolved markers and navigate the active sequence from one required change to the next.
-
03
Record the outcome
Mark one note or a selected group Completed when addressed, Skipped when intentionally not applied, or restore the selection to Pending when work reopens.
-
04
Report the current state
Export the filtered markers to CSV or PDF with the Status and Comments fields included.
Good fit
Use this workflow for
- Client and producer feedback rounds
- QC, VFX, graphics, audio, and delivery checklists
- Editors who need to preserve the original note text
- Filtered status reports for production
For team handoff
Share the updated Premiere project
MarkerBuddy does not send live task notifications between workstations. Save and share the updated Premiere project so another editor with MarkerBuddy can see the marker notes and status.
